Alt_Key

Alt_Key is an application and a library
used to instantly show where keyboard accelerators should go in
menu option texts and dialog labels. It is very fast because it uses the
Kuhn-Munkres
algorithm, easily outperforming all the naive
algorithms.

This tool is no longer being developed or maintained.

The program makes it straightforward for developers to find the right
characters to use as accelerators for menu option texts and for dialog
labels. This helps make GUI programs more usable by catering for users
who can't use the mouse and for fast typists who don't want to use the
mouse.

It is also possible to #include the C++ module and have
accelerators created automatically at runtime—for example, at the
end of each form's constructor: this is what the Alt_Key program itself
does. For further examples of use see the Advanced
Qt Programming book and its accompanying examples. See also the Alt_Key Library documentation.
